The Mega Developers: Barwa

Barwa is one of Qatar's largest Mega Developers. Barwa was created in 2005 by the government owned Qatari Diar Real Estate Investment Company to develop projects in the Middle East and abroad. According to Barwa:

'We see ourselves ‘builders’ in Qatar’s emergence as a vibrant investment for the global community. Our work covers a wide array of real estate business related functions. Barwa manages, operates, leases and rents projects owned by us and by other partners, both locally and internationally. We also manage real estate portfolios and funds. Our work has earned us the accolade of being known as a master developer and planner who is committed to creating lasting legacies.'

Barwa underwent an IPO on the Doha Securities Market in 2006 that raised $330 million for 55% of the company's equity. Barwa is run by Ghanim Bin Saad Al Saad, Chairman, Managing Director & CEO, and Tamer Khader, CFO. In a short period of time the company has created one of the most impressive real estate portfolios I have seen, and become one of the top 20 developers in The Gulf.
